the liver pups are pretty; the one I kepted at six months age covers over 20 miles per his gps collar in a day hunt with several starts; he usually runs 1-2 hours then returns on his same trail like his pop.

Teddy, these are consider " Popouts" and they come in every breed of some type or another. (eye, short tails and hide color etc...)
Popouts is something breeders try to breed out of or it would not be a pop-up. It's almost impossible to breed totaly out of a family that throws both colors.(blue and brown)
It's also a product of what some Geneologist call genetic drift. Each time this line is bred it moves farther away from the bluetick breed that far enough in time they will not be considered related to the breed.
None the less if you like them it does not matter.
